Antique Black and White Cement Tiles CEM 247 with Diagonal Division, First Half of the Twentieth Century

The sharp contrast between black and white, divided along the diagonal of each tile, allows for the composition of floor patterns featuring rhombi, hourglasses, and triangles with a strong graphic impact. Reclaimed in Tuscany and dating back to the first half of the 20th century, the CEM 247 cement tiles measure 20x20 cm with a thickness of 2 cm and are available in 20 pieces, totaling 0.80 sqm.
